Artsakh welcome the adoption of the resolution on the recognition of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic by the House of Representatives of the State of Hawaii, Spokesperson for the NKR Ministry of Foreign Affairs Ani Sargsyan said in comment to Artsakh Public TV.

“Hawaii has become the 7th U.S. State to recognize the independence of the NKR. We also express our gratitude to all those who have contributed to this cause,” she said.

“The international recognition of Artsakh is one of the highest priorities of our foreign policy, and we will continue our efforts towards new achievements in this process,” the Spokesperson said.

“We are convinced that the international recognition of Artsakh’s independence will give additional impetus to the further development and strengthening of the statehood of Artsakh in general and its democratic institutions in particular. It will also have a positive impact on the process of the peaceful settlement of the Azerbaijani-Karabakh conflict, ensuring its irreversibility and allowing to focus on developing the necessary mechanisms and conditions of peaceful coexistence of two independent States – Nagorno-Karabakh and Azerbaijan, which have resulted from the collapse of the Soviet Union and Azerbaijan’s aggression,” she concluded.
